The UK’s welding and fabrication industry is set for a digital revolution as The Validation Centre (TVC) Limited and EngEPA Ltd join forces to officially launch the Dig in Vision VR Welding Simulator. This strategic partnership combines world-class monitoring expertise with industry-leading assessment and cutting-edge virtual reality to address the growing skills gap in British manufacturing.
A New Era of Welding Training
The Dig in Vision Welding Simulator is not just a training tool, it is a high-fidelity XR (Extended Reality) platform designed to replicate the physics of a real-world workshop and, unlike traditional methods that require expensive consumables and pose safety risks to beginners, the Dig in Vision system allows trainees to master MIG, TIG, and Stick welding in a risk-free virtual environment!
Key features include:
- Real-time physics in lifelike weld pool and puddle simulation that responds to speed, angle, and distance
- Integrated AI provides instant, multilingual feedback to guide students through complex exercises
- Instructors can track performance and progress via a digital dashboard, ensuring every student meets industry standards before ever striking a real arc
- By eliminating the need for scrap metal, gas, and electricity during initial training, the system significantly reduces the carbon footprint and overhead costs of vocational programs
